EPO Repair

...in a bucket of water

Due to a recent unscheduled landing, for the first time I have tried EPO repair using hot water. 

This method is surprisingly effective and, after leaving the wings to soak for about twenty minutes, the EPO shape had largely been restored. In fact it appeared that the grain structure had somewhat overdeveloped, so a little smoothing-down is required



This method seems to work a lot better than a hairdryer as the temperature is controlled (no risk of melting the foam) and the heat transfer immersed in liquid is improved.

All in all a low-risk well controlled method to uncrumple your dented EPO parts...
